input from the skinner side of house you will get better skins if you have several textures rather than all on one. it doesnt need to be a dozen or even TKs usual 5, but loading all on one means you are making everything smaller to fit on one space. yeah you could go big (2048 or 4096 px)but if you did that why not break things up (say a fuselage/tail grouping and a wings. engines/ various parts grouping) for more detail. sorry, i do not know how you would do that in blender (barely got the hang of it in Maya) but end user wise, all on one can be a pain for anything outside of a weapon or small ground vehicle

where'e he get them from? that model and even more so that bare metal looks mighter familiar not trying to start a pissing contest, that just looks like one of v2k's last projects. unless im misunderstanding and jimbib transformed that into a static via ini

now lets see you fly a Marine Scooter through it

well you see meanwhile, out on the range

As soon as the Sharif was outta their hair The jet pilots wailed (1000 internet points if you catch the reference)

more testin

over Gonzo Station, 1980

where's the Whiskey from? ------------------ gawd, even the recce boys gotta go show off......

proper scheme for testin times

when taking a break isnt really taking a break.....

caught between wanting a proper RF-111C yet not wanting another major project launched guess i'll just keep heads down for now

depends on what im working on, some are quite fun to fly while others are pigs that im putting lipstick on in general, i do prefer the air to ground and support mission sets, and typically fly the jets best suited to that (A-10s, A-7s, F-4s and the range of heavies)

heavy duty scientific wildass guess time the Kadena RFs went to Taegu in 1989, being stationed there for one year before the 15th TRS disbanded the squadron stayed the 15th TRS, and took all the aircraft that were at Kadena .but changed units from the 18th Tac Fighter WING to the 460th Tac Recon GROUP this is based off of book reseach and two (yes only two) pics. so the GU skin will be highly.... suppositional. not what if but not as spot on as i like either. one of two pics i can base off of

in win10, i've never had any issue with using GIMP and yours (or yakarov's) 4096 temps. and im using the same graphics as your gaming system i would suggest trying one of the free programs for your upscaling at least. that way if you hate GIMP or PaintNet you're not out any money.

10 May 1972, one of the busiest of the air war over North Vietnam with the commencement of Operation Linebacker 11 VPAF fighters would be shot down that day (including 3 by Showtime 100 crew of Cunningham and Driscoll, becoming the only USN aces of the war) vs 2 Phantoms each from the Navy and USAF (including Showtime 100, downed by a SAM after its third kill)

much as the title says. a few ground rules: 1.should be as close as you can come to the historic event. some leeway is given as not all aircraft or paint schemes are available 2.PLEASE steer clear of airliner crashes or other massive loss of life unless there is a very good reason for it. keep it tasteful if you do ( Iowa ANG escorting United 232 to Sioux City in July 89 ok, a Flagon shooting JAL 007 NOT OK) 3.must give the historic event being presented in the screenshot finally, have fun! to kick it off, here's F-4E 69-7294, also known as the 4000th Phantom, delivered to the USAF 1 Feb 1971. later in 1989 it was converted to F-4G Wild Weasel V then finally expended as a QF-4G target in Nov 1998. also an example of rule 1 as i don't have a 4000th Phantom tga, so shown from a different angle!
